Everyone knows of local romance author Danielle Steel but I get the impression that a select few people in this city really know her. Our grandmas and mothers may own all of her work but what about the woman behind the book — the woman literally on the back cover?
I have never read a Steel book but I happened to flip to a few of her back covers and, well, game recognizes game. Looking at those author pics you can tell that lady is a straight up hustla: diva to the core! Her photos feature furs, jewels, and at least one super baller portrait. Most of these photos I can only assume were taken in her righteous mansion in Pac Heights. Based on these author portraits, this is what I imagine this queen diva is really like.
"Oh you know, girl, just casually hanging with a giant oil paining of myself. Straight chillin. Whatchu up to?"
"These are my driving furs. Get in loser, we're going shopping!"
"Dude, I'm hella high right now ... on that sweet sweet literature buzz!" *airhorns sound*
"Damn, girl, how did you find me? My camouflage game was on point!"
"Books on books on books."
"I'm on a boat motherfuckas, straight captain-ing this ish."
"Oh you know, just writing on this sick ass desk. Say what's up, portrait." Portrait: "What's up."
"Excuse you, haters. This is my 'going to the beach' ball gown. Can I live?"
